My department superintendent ordered one back in 79, for grooming around our warehouses there on the air base. When the super retired a few months later, we sent that reel mower to the Defense Reutilization Management Office (Junk Yard) and it was tossed in a scrap metal bin. We then went and procured a real mower. I would imagine that after a summer of pushing those reel mowers, there would be little need for any state issue in sizes beyond size large.
